You Are Always On My Mind
David Cassidy · Other Songs - David Cassidy
Gone from my life and I stare like a dummy against the wall
Since you've been away, oh yes, I am uptight
It's a fact of my life, I guess, I'll try to fight
I could be so good for you if I had that right, if I had that right
You are always on my mind
If I got to go through this old life
Day after day and find
You there on my mind
You are always on my mind
If I got to go through this old life
Day after day and find
You there on my mind
I don't understand you at all but I don't care
Still a lot of good love in our lives for us to share
You might think it's sad
But I'm together now, yeah, you laugh, huh
I know it's true I'm much better now
You ought to come on by and see for yourself, just how
Oh, I'm much better now
You are always on my mind
If I got to go through this old life
Day after day and find
You there on my mind
You are always on my mind
If I got to go through this old life
Day after day and find
You there on my mind
You are always on my mind
If I got to go through this old life
Day after day and find
You there on my mind
You Are Always On My Mind
David Cassidy's 1972 recording of 'You Are Always On My Mind' stands as a defining moment in his early career, blending the smooth pop sensibilities of the era with a distinct vocal warmth. Released during the height of his fame as a teen idol, the track exemplifies the polished production and romantic themes characteristic of mid-1970s American pop music. The song's enduring appeal lies in its melodic structure and Cassidy's emotive delivery, which captured the attention of a generation while establishing a foundation for his subsequent work in both pop and musical theater. It remains a staple of his discography, representing the era's shift toward more sophisticated pop ballads that prioritized lyrical sincerity over the overt theatricality of earlier teen acts.
